Ian Walker
I though Trips had a very good game, Walkers body position was wrong and his swinging arm was the perfect excuse for a ref to give a foul.
How well they did or didn't play has to be in perspective though. One lad plays for Tunis and the other is on loan from Sunderland plying for Rennes.If its a 3 Id bring in Cahill and ditch Walker.
I thought by the end of the game both Stones and Maguire were pretty good, especially when stepping into midfield and bypassing Henderson.
However, I think its clear they need someone in there to marshall them and keep things calm when under pressure, Cahill is the only one we have who can do that.
Id ditch Walker (was poor) and bring in Cahill. Id also ditch Young for Rose, and have someone who will actually defend the left flank.
IMO the defence would be much better with those changes.
They did well against Spain last week apparently, in so much as it took a long long time for Spain to break them down
Fair enough I see that he didn’t have to name Trippier.
I think he would have turned to Trips at the time and spoken to him if he was looking to pass on the blame.
He was asked to explain what happened and he was pretty honest saying he would do that in the premier league after receiving that call.
He then said this competition is different from the premier league and he himself needs to wise up, make the decision and clear it.
Yes, game would have been dead. Would have then become interesting as to how comfortably we could sit back and see the game out.
As it is I suspect the way it actually went will have done them much more good in terms of development.
I think he was saying that in the Prem, the penalty doesn’t get given.
I dunno, obviously Walker is good mates with Dele and Dele is good mates with Trips, so I’m sure they all get on well and there wasn’t much in it. I just don’t see why Walker has to call out KT on that. Rather than maybe admit he could have got his body position better or that he didn’t need to stick out his arm. His implication is that it was a bad call from KT, and I just find that a bit needless. But maybe it’s different in Pro world and they all like to be straight shooters, like Rosey.
It just reeked of a bit of Wheelchair’s, ‘it’s time I had my say’. Rather than seeing any fault or having any humility, it’s putting the blame elsewhere. I also haven’t been much of a fun of Walker’s comments since leaving, insinuating Pep is on another level to Poch, the coach that made him.
I didn't read it that way. I think there was one interview where Walker said he was just trying to shield the attacker from the ball. Presumably to allow it through to Trippier who would have cleared it, or allow it to go straight out of play.
And that's not a bad call or a wrong decision. It was down to how Walker chose to do it.
Mentioning Trips explains why Walker did that and, in theory, it'd have been correct if he had not been clumsy in his actions.
Agreed, I did not think was passing blame whatsoever, he was explaining what he did and why. He did admit that he went on to make a mistake rom which he needs to learn.Soft pen, but as has been said, don't give the ref a decision to make. How ours didn't get called beggars belief. Ridiculous! As for Tripps, what a great game!

You mean like the game he had against Real at Wembley?Walker didn't do anything that doesn't happen quite often in a game (I think Young done something similar early in the game and only got a word from the (awful) ref), so just got unlucky this time.
Tripper had a good game. And that's pretty much expected against the lower class of team. He'll get space, use his intelligence and not be to tested in a defensive sense.
When he plays against Mendy, Carrasco, Neymar, Ronaldo.... they're the moments that show his progress.
Didn't know it was cherry season.You mean like the game he had against Real at Wembley?
